Lorenzo Brown got a taste of what big time basketball is all about last year. The 6-foot-4 combo guard from Centennial High School in metro Atlanta helped his team make it to the 5A state championship game last year only to lose to a loaded Norcross team.

College coaches are seeing that improvement. Florida, Miami, NC State, Tennessee, Ohio State and Michigan have all been in to see him this fall, Brown said. Oregon has offered a scholarship and Brown visited Connecticut earlier in the school year for the Huskies elite camp.
